Yes, actually I did have a problem. The process only took about 15-20 minutes for the whole thing...BUT it looks like they repainted my door from the factory so I have a paint defect on the drivers side door. This picture was obviously taken before the wash/wax so I was able to get MOST of it out:  I've heard people say that is takes up to 2 hours per side?? It only took me MAYBE 20 minutes...I used some soft leather glove to remove the glue (came off very easy, about 2 minutes per door) Then to get the markings off the paint I used "UN-DU Sticker and Decal Remover" You can get if from Wal-Mart for about 6 bucks.

Looks good dude! I didn't know any of that sticker remover existed. I've got to buy some, I haven't been able to successfully remove the sticky crap from my rear badging yet. This may do the trick. Thanks.

Good idea about the sticker remover.
I want to do this myself, but then I see all the scuffs in my ding-guard and worry that if I take it off, people will start hammering my doors!
Does everyone who performs this mod park in the outer limits of parking lots?

SweetSVT99, I have the same marking under one door that I know the dealer re-painted because the factory paint was messed up. It's from putting on the molding before the clearcoat dried and the platic adheared to the clearcoat. I took it back to the dealer to have them fix it and they got most of it out. I have to give mine the Zaino treatment so I think everything will turn out
